I was refering to the chance that these flares or CMEs could affect the Eastern Rift Zone of the Big Island. If it breaks off a big surfboard would be good, and a scuba tank.

I know, just having fun. If I were facing that threat that you mention. I would get in a full wetsuit. Eat as many spam masubi and manapua as possible and leash my board to my ankle. Then I would stuff my two-bladder cammel pack with one side poi, other cocconut water. and smoke one big one.

Im a volcano guy myself so i dont know much about these solar events. Is it usual that there are several M-class flares in one day? And if there are (like today) is there a build up or are they all independent of eachother (sun spots i mean)?

Spam would be a great addition to the bugout kit. I may have to throw a few cans into my submarine.

Its great for survival, spam that is. Protien, salt and fat. It will pull you thru the fourth quarter as long as you have water.

These flares seem to linger, not like im used to seeing. We are seeing something out or our normal for sure.

I think seven now. However that will be little help in what will be effected or occure in next few day unless you want to wrap electronics in lead. In case of a big one.

flares are not always accompanied by coronal mass ejections. there have been 5-7 m-class flares, and only 2 known cme's so far. they don't always occur together. flare is in the xray spectrum and reaches earth in about 8 mins. cme's are charged particles from the sun and are slower, sometimes taking up to 3 days to reach earth.
